Sooo Sad News All Around

i am upset this week i just got another camera from my previous companion because  he left one and said that i could have it. so i took pictures this week however the card reader that i had decided to give up the ghost. so yea no pics this week. maby next week i will get another reader and send pictures.

other sad news... the truck is gone... yes our truck was taken away they are taking all of the cars and trucks in the mission and putting us on bikes and walking.😲😢 so yea that kinda crushed me.

it was also brought up that i should probably explain why i want to burn a shirt. see there is this mystical pasttime amongst missionarys where we celebrate reaching certian marks in our mission with fire the first 6 months we burn a tie. at a year we burn a shirt. at 18 months we burn a pair of pants. and finally at a year we burn a suit. no mom i am not going to burn a suit i plan to give one of my suits to a departing missionary instead so that it will still be of use. 

soo big things that happened this week other than the bakki (that is what they call pickups here) and the camera. i had an incredible experience. a missionary that served here came back to visit and he gave a very powerfull testimony. i cant remember all that he said however it entailed that nothing happens without the lord planning it. then he quoted about how all of us are pices in a chess set and the lord sets us where he wants us. but my favorite part was when he called on one of his investigators to say how he came to know the church and it was by a book that he saw at the barbers shop and he asked if he could borrow it. then he asked one of my investigators how he found the church. it turns out that he saw the first with the book of mormon that he had borrowed and asked to borrow it so the same book affected two lives. powerfull see if the first had sat 1 chair over neither he or my investigator would have seen the book. the lord works in mysterious ways brothers and sisters. and i can testify that if we follow the promptings of the spirit then we too can be that influence in other peoples lives. till next week i love you all in different ways and salihanhle. that is... "stay well" in sutu.
